Stage One

Early on in the research process we identified three core areas of enquiry:

  1. How the system might obtain the location data.
  2. How the system would associate location data with art work.
  3. How the art work would be served to mobile telephones.
In Stage One looked at the technical, commercial and aesthetic contexts of each of these objectives.

The initial plan was then to use discussions on the site forum as the basis of a user requirement in Stage Two. Unfortunately, input from potential users of the system was minimal, so project artist Simon Evans created a series of sketches of potential projects that make use of location technology. These projects formed the basis of the user requirement drawn up in Stage Two.
